Will it have N-trig support though, they only mention Wacom in there =(.

Microsoft invested pretty heavily in N-Trig some time ago, it would be odd for it not to be supported.

Hence why I was surprised by them only mentioning Wacom.

As for obtaining it, cant yet. It was just released at the confrence display demos. Hopefully soon it will be available as an addon for users of Windows 7 since a couple of the screenshots showed the project name and said to buy windows 7 below it. Might be something similar to an pro or ultimate "extras" addition to Win7.

it would be a crime for them not to release this for Vista as well, not everyone has 7( and some like myself, don't want to even use 7) I guess this is where we wait and see...I hope this has N-trig support

"multitouch-and-Wacom-tablet-based natural painting program"
I would interpret "multitouch" as N-Trig, most likely.

Personally I can not find it in myself to go out and jump full on into a Windows 7 commitment. It seems like everytime I come to this forum amongst others I glance at, there is some other issue being brought up revolving around or being a direct result of Windows 7 and the lack of straight forward support that should be readily available with such a thing but obviously is not. If it were we wouldn't have forums like this to reach out to peers who are/have going/gone through what we are trying to acheive. There was a time when I refuted Vista...and now...years later I am using it knowing that all the time I waited wasn't for nothing because now Vista's pros outweigh the cons. In time, I may make the switch..or I may not. Either way I feel its best to let things pan out for themselves instead of trying to make use of something that doesn't even know the sum of its own parts yet.
Conformity is not a friend of mine.

Interesting reply. I can get where your coming from with the windows 7 bandwagon theory, but I had one of thees units with vista (I abused the "30 day return" policy to much... about 4 times) And each time I would Do a little tweaking here and there under vista and just would not get what I was looking for. I like the better touch control in 7, but of course Ive been beta testing 7 from the original release and run..... freee editions on several of my machines. But honestly I had more problems with the vista series then the 7 series. Maybe Im crazy, maybe Im not.

I use it because I like it, not to conform.

I am sorry your experiences with Vista were less than fulfilling. My hope is that this "Project Gustav" gets released for both Vista and 7, and not one or the other. Truth be told, I've been messing around with MS Paint for the past few weeks and then came across this this morning when I got home and like a kid in a candy store...I WANT IT

In one of the videos on http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/gustav/default.aspx you can see Project Gustav running on a TX2. So there should be n-trig support.

March 3, 2010 2:15 AM

It is very much like Corel Paint It Touch: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1254516039320
Does not cost a fortune to buy and we have it pre-installed on the TM2.

March 3, 2010 1:56 PM

haha, yeah much like House in that picture, you got it on the money my friend.


cough cough tm2 < TX2 :)

How is a lower spec, hotter running, lesser battery, non-standardized touch screen computer better? ;D

Because I can put 1.5tb storage inside mine. AND  have A DVD drive.
& It cost less.

What prevents upgrading to a 1.5tb HDD in the TM2?

 Also, I must agree with <3 for cheap solutions.

No expansion slot to put the extra hard drive into unlike the tx2's bay.
